Hi. I'm Dariel Raye, an interracial/multi-cultural paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and psy/suspense author, and every day of this journey is a learning experience. I'm also a counselor, musician, and animal lover. My stories are about all-conquering love and romance, and I enjoy hosting other authors as well. Enter a world where werewolves, vampires, multi-shifters, vamp-like Nephilim, Vodouin Fey, and all things paranormal capture our hearts...

Dariel's Fridays with Friends Featured Guest is Author Wenona Hulsey with More About Her "Blood Burden" Series!!

How about I tell you a bit about me first, the person behind
the pen? I'm Wenona Hulsey, mother of two and blue collar worker by day. But at night I turn into Wenona Hulsey,
master of words and worlds. I’ve always
written for as long as I can remember. I kept journals off and on from the age
of nine but I really got into writing about a year and a half ago.

I was
searching for a creative outlet at a time in my life when I felt like I was
living in a rut. I sing terrible, I
dance like I'm having seizures and my art looks like stick figures so I turned
to what came easiest to me ---writing. I
started working on my first novel, Burden of Blood, and it moved along
remarkably fast. I guess that could be
contributed to my recent binge reading of all books labeled paranormal romances
but I had an idea of what I wanted and I put it to paper.

As I was nearing the end of my writing frenzy on Burden of
Blood a fascinating novelette idea popped into my head and Blood Awakening was
born. It works as a back story to two of
the main characters in Burden of Blood, giving you more detail and insight into
who Nicole Keenan and her best friend Kat were before their world was turned on
its head. I would consider Blood Awakening
more of a thriller, suspense with a dash of paranormal and comedy thrown
in. But Burden of Blood is full on
Paranormal Romance with hot warriors and gothic fairies in leading roles.

Now that I've sent Blood Awakening, Burden of Blood and the
final book in the series, Blood of Fire, out into the world, I'm working on the
3rd draft of my still untitled mystery thriller and I've started another
project that will fall into the young adult genre.

I hope you all will give my books a read and I'm always glad
to connect with readers in the internet world so be sure to reach out to me on
me website, Facebook page, or Twitter. Thanks
so much for letting me join you today!

Blood Awakening Blurb:

Nicole, a small town Alabama girl, and her best friend Kat take a weekend trip to Panama City, Florida. Kat looking to have a good time and Nicole hoping to escape the pain of losing her mother for a little while.

Burden of Blood Blurb:

Blood of Fire Blurb:

Turning her back on everyone she loves, Nicole leaves Alabama to face the man who has made her life hell from the day he forced her powers to surface. She will face evil and end the war that has been brewing for centuries…or that's what she hopes will happen as the final story of the Blood Burden Series plays out. New characters, steamy romance, lives lost and an ancient war. Is it in your blood?
